"Perch"
A Triple Fin Blenny resting on a Gorgonian Branch.
"Social"
A congregation of Black Coral Shrimp.
"Turtle Face"
Sometimes the friendliness of the Hawksbill here in Cayman really blows my mind. I love having these encounters were the subject seems interested in you. Maybe they really do enjoy getting their photo taken.
"The Mountain"
A diver over looks the prestigious dive site, Ghost Mountain.
'Crab Hair Day' - diver looking at an arrow crab nestled in the hair of the mermaid statue at Sunset House, Grand Cayman!
"Flowers"
Coral polyps with a nice orange background.
"Explore"
Divers exploring the Kittiwake in Grand Cayman.
"Starry Starry Day"
Starfish Point, Grand Cayman
The star effect from the sun, and reflected on the water, was achieved by shooting with a small aperture, not Photoshop.
shortlistedShortlisted!
"Red Eye"
A close up shot of a Red Cling Fish. Achieved with a 100mm and +10 Diopter.
"Hiding in the Flowers"
This Red Cling Fish found a very pretty patch of Gorgonian to cling to.
"Lettuce Slug"
Finding one of these Sea Slugs on a nice colorful backdrop is rather rare. I was happy to take advantage of the colorful opportunity.
"Black Lines"
This Blackline Cyphoma is a rare find here in Cayman. We frequently see Flamingo Tongues, but its always a treat to see one of the uncommon cousins.
a super close up of a patch of Sergeant Major's eggs - shot while the father was off-guard!
"Face Paint"
This Scorpion Fish was in the perfect spot for a straight on Portrait. These subjects are very cooperative and generally sit still, but finding them is the trick.
"The Ladder"
A Whip Coral lit from the back.
"The Den"
My favorite shot of the invasive Lion Fish. We are seeing less and less of this hungry fish on the dive sites, but sometime I just can't help but snag a couple shots of them, they are very photogenic.
"Cyclone"
A school of Horse-eyed Jacks making moves around the Kittiwake.
shortlistedShortlisted!
A beautiful brittle star moving gently along the edge of a translucent sponge at night
The photographer's (my own) reflection in an air bubble rising to the surface. A most unusual selfie!
"Clarity"
Some days the visibility here in Cayman really makes you sit back and enjoy.
"Jelly Fun"
Having some fun with this Upside Down Jelly at Starfish Point.
shortlistedShortlisted!
"Say O"
A rare shot for me. After all the Slender File Fish that I have had in front of my lens, I dont know if I have ever seen one with it's mouth open.
"Fin Up"
A close up of the same Blenny. Triple Fin's color and patterns make them one of my favorite little fish to find.
The best way to rest is to blend in and hide amongst the concave of one's environment.
"Size Matters"
This shot was possible with the use of a 100mm macro lens stacked with a Subsea =10 Diopter.
Black Coral Shrimp with eggs.
"Green Eyes"
A first time find for me here. I am having trouble identiyfing this crab just from our ID books. Not a bad day at the office, find something completely new to me and snag some good shots.
"The Pace"
A diver keeps pace with an Eagle Ray to grap the perfect shot.
